Hang Seng, China A50 futures clinging by a thread before third plenum
If the Politburo wants to get Chinese markets excited about what may come out of next week’s third plenum, it better get cracking.

Hang Seng leads the way, ASX and China A50 set to follow?

USD/HKD holds the clues for the Hang Seng’s next move

Hang Seng, China A50 reversing hard after tough end to May

China A50, Hang Seng, USD/CNH: Economic revival, state intervention creates ample trade opportunities
